Out on the Wasteland

I watch these wet streets
Through the froth in my glass
Waterfront and concrete
All dressed in a misty drag

The Boothill boys are out
They sneak with their stash
Out in the cold
Into the dark
Falling about
Blow by blow

Over the crossroads
I'm downbound again

Out on the wasteland
Some drift to understand
Some to regret
Out on the wasteland
I drift to forget
Out on the wasteland
(Out on the wasteland)
Some drift to understand
Some to regret
Out on the wasteland
I drift to forget

I wanted to step back
Got pushed one step ahead
Didn't ask for love
Yet got a broken heart instead

"Sorry, not tonight"
That's what the doorman said
I'm hollow-eyed
I've been lied to
And I've been lying to myself

Over the crossroads
I'm downbound again

Out on the wasteland
Some drift to understand
Some to regret
Out on the wasteland
I drift to forget
Out on the wasteland
(Out on the wasteland)
Some drift to understand
Some to regret
Out of the wasteland
I drift to forget
Out on the wasteland
(Out on the wasteland)
Out of the wasteland
(Out of the wasteland)
Out on the wasteland
I drift to forget
